  Summary

  I decided to re-write the script of Romeo and Juliet into modern English, except I made it mostly overdramatic and sort of exaggerated
  I kept it in script format because it was fun to imagine this being performed.

  "TYBALT
  BUT HE’S A MONTAGUE! YOU TAUGHT ME TO STAB FIRST!

  LORD CAPULET
  And now I say let him beee! It’s MY house, I get to choose who to murder!"

  ^If that's any indication of what to expect

  Full disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Romeo and Juliet, the characters, plot, or any related material. Original credit to Shakespeare.
  This was written entirely for fun, but it still follows the plot, so everyone still dies as usual (sorry)
